Your stock injectors will become a problem before your TB will. Have you even dynoed your truck or logged it at all?? How can you tell you are "maxing" your TB? Have you logged to even see how much flow your MAF is seeing? Have you logged to check your duty cycles? I wouldnt jump to any conclusions yet man. Because right now I dont think you know enough to point fingers at anything.

MTI or S2Performance has probably the best alternative to a stock TB.

Im with you on that one..... I know for a fact hes gonna be maxing his stockers. Cuz when I talked with SlowProcess about his injectors he told me he was maxing his. I bought some 8.1 injectors for my motor because I knew the 24.7 lb'ers werent gonna cut it. Plus Slow bought a set too.

it made 344whp thru the xfer case. should be making about 450-470 at the fly. it ran a 14.1 @ 97 at the track.



Fact of the matter is, i dyno'd it with the stock TB, then with the BBK 80mm a friend of mine had, and it picked up 10whp. That is why I was wondering which TB people are using, because overall, i didnt like the BBK one.
